YOUNG GUNS: The Dodgers are carrying seven rookies on their NLDS roster: Austin Barnes, Grant Dayton, Kenta Maeda, Corey Seager, Ross Stripling, Andrew Toles and Julio Urías. Were all seven to appear in the series, it would tie a franchise record for rookies used in a postseason series along with the 1953 World Series (Belardi, Gilliam, Hughes, Milliken, Podres, Thompson, Williams) and the 2006 NLDS (Billingsley, Broxton, Ethier, Kuo, Loney, Martin, Saito). The MLB record for most rookies used in a postseason series is 10, set by the 2013 St. Louis Cardinals (Source: Stats, LLC). In addition to Barnes, Dayton, Maeda, Stripling, Toles and Urías, Charlie Culberson will also be making the first postseason appearance of his career.
